Reese Witherspoon expecting third baby

'Legally Blonde' star Reese Witherspoon and her husband of one year are expecting a baby, it has been confirmed.

The new addition will be the Oscar winner's third child and her first with Hollywood talent agent husband Jim Toth.

A close friend of the star, 36, told People Magazine: "They are both thrilled."

"Jim and Reese are looking forward to having a bigger family at this point in life," the source continued. "They can take the time to enjoy the next stage and make sure the transition for all is easy and joyful."

Witherspoon, who won the Oscar for playing June Carter Cash in Johnny Cash biopic 'Walk the Line', is already a mother to daughter Ava, 12, and son Deacon, 8, whom she had with ex-husband actor Ryan Phillippe.

Witherspoon's latest film released is the spy comedy 'This Means War' in which she co-stars in a love triangle with Chris Pine and Tom Hardy. Catch the fun trailer HERE.
